Half of British kids have seen their parents drunk

Worryingly almost half of British kids between the ages of 10 and 14 have seen their parents drunk.

 

Children copy their parents’ behaviours and Elaine Hindal of Drinkaware calls on mums and dads to “understand their significant influence as role models and feel confident to set a good example.”

 

Last year over 3,000 Britons, some as young as 12, had to seek help for a drinking problem and nearly six a day were admitted to A&E because of underage drinking.

 

What do you think? Did you worry about your children seeing you drinking or even drunk? Do you think Ireland suffers from the same problem?
